result in serious bodily injury or death.
These guns are recommended for adult use only. This product is not recommended
for unsupervised use by those under 16 years of age. This product is designed to

where it might be mistaken for a firearm.

SAFETY RULES
Always read and follow these rules each time you handle your GAMO AIR RIFLE.
1. Always point the gun in a safe direction. NEVER POINT YOUR AIR GUN AT
PEOPLE OR ANIMALS EVEN IF IT IS NOT LOADED.
2. Air guns are not toys. They should only be used under adult supervision. Safety is a
straightforward but continuous process. THE UNSUPERVISED USE OF AIR GUNS
IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PERSONS UNDER 16 YEARS OF AGE.
3. Think first, fire second.
4. Always use eye protection.
5. Always use hearing protection.
6. Always keep your fingers away from the trigger during cocking and handling.
Keep your finger away from the trigger until you are ready to fire.
7. Always be certain of what is behind your target.
8. Do not fire at a target which allows ricochets or deflections. Do not fire into or at
water.
9. Never use drugs or alcohol while handling this product.
10. The air gun and pellets should be kept in separate and secured places. Always
keep the air rifle out of reach of children.

11. After use and before putting the air gun away, always make absolutely sure that
there are no pellets in the chamber.
12. Do not load the air gun until you are ready to fire. Do not walk, run, jump or climb
when carrying a loaded air gun. A loaded air gun should never be carried inside a
vehicle. Always keep the safety “ON”, even when the air gun is unloaded.
WARNING: Never modify or alter your GAMO AIR RIFLE. Modification of the
gun may cause it to malfunction and tampering with the gun may make it unsafe.
WARNING: Any change in performance, such as lowered trigger force and
shortened trigger travel, indicates possible wear, and such guns should be inspected,
replaced, or properly repaired. Repairs should only be performed by qualified
personnel.
WARNING: Check any gun that has been dropped to ensure its function has not
been altered.

OPERATION OF THE SAFETY
There is no substitute for muzzle control. Never rely on any mechanical safety. Always
point the gun in a safe direction.
The safety is located in front of the trigger (see fig. C-3 pg 3). The safety is “ON” when the
lever is in the rear position (near the trigger). To release the trigger, move the lever to the
forward position (away from the trigger).
Always put the safety “ON” when handling, carrying, loading or unloading the air gun.
Do not press the trigger while putting the safety “ON”.
TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT
Be sure the air gun is not loaded before adjusting trigger.
This gun is supplied with a second stage adjustable trigger (see fig. D-4 pg 3). To adjust the
second stage, rotate the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the length and rotate the
adjustment screw counter-clockwise to increase the length.

LOADING
! WARNING: The use of incorrect projectiles may not be safe. Do not reuse
ammunition for any reason.
Your GAMO AIR RIFLE shoots .177 caliber lead or alloy pellets only. It is
recommended to use only GAMO AIR RIFLE ammunition in your GAMO AIR
RIFLE. Your GAMO AIR RIFLE is not intended to shoot steel BB's.
! WARNING: Lead airgun ammunition contains a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects (or other reproductive harm). Do not
inhale dust or put pellets in mouth. Wash hands after handling.
OPEN THE BARREL BY PLACING THE STOCK OF THE GUN ON YOUR HIP AND
GRASPING THE END OF THE BARREL FIRMLY AND PULLING IT DOWN AND
TOWARD YOU UNTIL IT CATCHES. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER AT
ALL TIMES. WITH THE GUN IN THIS POSITION, LOAD THE GUN BY PLACING A
PELLET (ALWAYS WITH THE SKIRT END TOWARD YOU) IN THE OPENING OF THE
BARREL (SEE FIG A PG 3), THEN PULL THE BARREL BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL
POSITION UNTIL IT LOCKS INTO PLACE. THE GUN IS NOW LOADED AND THE
PELLET IS IN POSITION TO FIRE.

FIRING
Always use commerical safety glasses, including wearing them over your prescription
glasses when handling or shooting your GAMO AIR RIFLE.
CAUTION: Your backstop should be inspected for wear before and after each use.
Discontinue use if your backstop surface shows signs of failure. Since backstop
surfaces eventually fail, always place the backstop in a location that will be safe
should the backstop fail. Discontinue the use of a backstop if the projectile rebounds
or ricochets.
! WARNING: If a pellet becomes lodged inside the barrel, refer to the
“PROCEDURE FOR CLEARING STUCK AMMUNITION” section.
Each time the air gun is to be put away after use, please ensure that the last round has been
fired, that your GAMO AIR RIFLE is completely empty, and that it is no longer cocked.
10

PROCEDURE FOR CLEARING STUCK AMMUNITION
NEVER attempt to clear stuck ammunition by firing an additional pellet through the gun as
it may damage the gun. Always be sure that the safety is “ON” prior to clearing an
obstruction.
Break the barrel down the same as in loading, and insert a cleaning rod of the appropriate
caliber for your rifle (.177 or .22) into the opening of the barrel. Push the rod through the
barrel until the pellet is free. When you are finished, clean the barrel with the brush
attachment of the cleaning rod to remove any lead particles that may be adhered to the
rifling.
English
SIGHT PICTURE AND ADJUSTMENT
Your GAMO AIR RIFLE comes with the scope mounted and bore sighted. The sight picture
should look like the examples (Pg 4). To sight in your rifle, remove the caps covering the
windage and elevation adjustment knobs (fig. B, Pg 3). Please check to make sure the
mounting screws are tight as they may have come loose during shipment.
11

English
Windage adjustment
Turn the windage adjustment screw 1 (fig. B) clockwise to move the point of impact right
and counter-clockwise to move the point of impact to the left.
Elevation adjustment
Turn the elevation screw 2 (fig. B) clockwise to lower the point of impact and
counterclockwise to raise the point of impact.
Follow these instructions if your GAMO Rifle came with an Illuminated Reticle
Scope
You must remove the protective battery cover before use. Pull the plastic tab to expose
battery to contact. The battery switch is located on left side of the scope saddle. The
illuminated feature is activated by turning the rheostat switch. Each click will increase the
intensity. To turn off the illuminated reticle, turn the knob to the zero position. To install the
battery remove the cap of the rheostat.
Place the battery in the rheostat face down and replace the rheostat cap.
12

STORAGE
Airguns should be carefully stored to prevent access by children and unauthorized users.
These products are designed to look, handle and function like rifles. These products should
be stored in such a manner to protect against theft and subsequent misuse.
Always store your GAMO AIR RIFLE after it has been cleaned and given a light coat of oil.
Always store your GAMO AIR RIFLE in a clean dry place. It is recommended that you
store this product in a GAMO case with appropriate anti-corrosion materials.
Always check to see if the GAMO AIR RIFLE is unloaded when removed from storage or
received from another person.
WHEN STORING YOUR RIFLE, ALWAYS MAKE SURE IT IS NOT COCKED, IT IS
UNLOADED AND THE SAFETY IS “ON”.
English
13

English
CLEANING
MAKE CERTAIN THE RIFLE IS UNLOADED AND THE SAFETY IS “ON”
BEFORE CLEANING.
To clean the rifle barrel, always open the barrel in the same way as when loading it. Use the
appropriate caliber cleaning rod, rod tip, patches, and bore brush with gun solvent and oil to
clean your rifle. Insert the cleaning rod with cleaning attachments from the muzzle.
You should never use lubricating oil in the barrel. It is helpful if you occasionally apply a
small amount of special GAMO oil to the barrel pivot, the two cocking-lever pivots, and the
trigger pivot. NEVER apply oil to the breech or into the cylinder. You should also clean the
outside metal parts with oil to prevent them from rusting.
NEVER PUT ANY OIL INSIDE THE BARREL OR THE CHAMBER. THE
RESULTING COMBUSTION COULD CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO
YOUR RIFLE AND SERIOUSLY HARM YOURSELF AND OTHER PEOPLE.
